Communicating at one ofitsends with the cylinder E is a supply-pipe G, which may be providedwith a regulating-valve g to control the supply of steam to the cylinderand whose other end is connected to a boiler. (Notshown)Communicatingwith thelower portion of the cylinder is an exhaust-pipe 6which may lead to any suitable point.

The bottom of the cylinder may be provided with a drain-cock 2', throughwhichthe and the lower portion of the base 'D may also be provided witha cock 2" for the removal of water or oil therefrom.

Secured to each of the rods F and F is an upwardly-extending arm Z,which project between the slide-bars 0, near the cross-pieces 0'thereof, each of which cross-pieces is provided with a screw m. toimpinge on the arms Z, so that in the movement of the piston-rods F andF ,the reciprocating bars or slides C will be moved therewith. It isevident that the cross-pieces c, carrying as they do the adjustingscrewsmand receiving an intermittent motion due to the reciprocatory motion ofthe arms Z, constitute a tappet mechanism for operating said slide.Journaled in the base D at rightangles to the sliding bars is a shaft M,which has on its inner end an arm m, which projects between the lugs con one of said sliding bars. The outer end of the shaft M is providedwith a handle or lever N for operating s'aid shaft.

From the foregoing and by reference to the drawings itwill be seen andreadily understood that by admitting steam to the enginecylinder E thepiston-rods therein will be caused to move back and forth, whichoperation will carry therewith the reciprocating bars or slides C, whichwill operate the pistons of the pumps. As the pump may sometimes be solocated that it is not convenient to reach the adjusting devices on thepistonrods B for its slide or bar, my construction aifords anotheradjustment which may be used instead thereof and the same resultattained. It is further evident that under certain other circumstancesthis double adjustment will be found advantageous and that one or bothadjustments may be employed. When it is desired to operate the pumpswithout the use of the engine, the lever N'may be moved back and forth,which will reciprocate the bars C, and thereby operate the pumps.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an apparatus for operating lubricating-pumps, the combination withthe pumpbody, of a slide comprising two parallel bars movably located inthe lower portions of the body for the purpose of reciprocating thepistons of the pump, means at the ends of the slide to adjustably secureit to the piston-rods of the pump,'a' steam-engine located beneath thepump-body, reciprocating piston-rods extending from each end of saidengine, an arm on each of said rods extending upwardly andbetween thebars of the slide, and adjustable means located at each end of theslide'whereby the movement thereof imparted by the arms may be changed.

2. In an apparatus for operating lubricating-pumps, the combination withthe pumpbody,' of a slide for the purpose of reciprocating the pistonsof the pump, means at the ends of the-slide to adjustably secure it tothe piston-rods of the pump, an engine for operating the said slide,said engine compris ing an expansion-chain berand a reciprocatingpiston-headtherein, arms connected 'to and operated ly means of saidpiston-head, and adjustable means engaged hysaid arms whereby the rangeof movement imparted to said slide may be changed.
